You can delete conversations. But I don't think it can be set up to be
automated, though.

I've seen this, which is supposed to make it easier for non-tech users (do the
setup part) :

There was a talk at Hacker's Congress in Prague on it, but I don't think there's
recording.

But from my own experience with Enigmail and other things made to work on top of
email: I wouldn't recommend it to non-tech users. It's really easy to screw it
up even if you know what you are doing.
